“What more could I say,
I wouldn’t be here today if the old school
didn’t pave the way.”
—Grand Puba, Brand Nubian
Before we get started I have to thank the Iron Game pioneers for teaching me, guiding me and
allowing me to do what I do for a living.
I’m old school through and through (as you’ll see from the quotes throughout this manual) and
have always done my best to honor those who paved the way. I’m talking about guys like Arthur
Saxon, George Hackenshmidt, Paul Anderson, Herman Goerner, Bill Pearl, Larry Scott, Vince
Gironda, Reg Park, Ed Coan, Bill Kazmaier, Kirk Kawoski, Dorian Yates, Louie Simmons,
Marvin Eder, Peary Rader, Anthony Ditillo, John McCallum, Steve Reeves, John Grimek, Leroy
Colbert, Dave Draper, Ed Corney, Mike Mentzer, Don Howorth, Bob Gajda, Dr. Ken Leistner,
Bill Starr and, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger. (My apologies to anyone who I forgot).
Thanks

“No citizen has the right to be an
amateur in the matter of physical
training; it is part of his profession as a
citizen to keep himself in good condition,
ready to serve his state
at a moments notice…
What a disgrace it is for a man to grow
old without ever seeing the beauty and
strength of which
his body is capable.”
—Socrates

“It is a well-known fact that the majority of
men today are relatively weak.”
—George Hackenshmidt, The Way to Live, 1908
wasn’t born with Herculean genetics. I was
skinny-fat for most of my childhood. No mus-
cle, no definition; just small, soft and weak. If
ever there was a true “hardgainer” it was me. I
I started strength training at twelve years old,
and five years later graduated high school weighing
a massively muscled 147 pounds (please note the
strong sarcasm) at six feet tall. When the wind blew
I had to grab onto the nearest tree.
If you’re reading this chances are good that
you’re in the same boat. You’ve tried and failed
before and may be getting frustrated or ready to
give up. But you don’t have to. There is hope for
guys like us… IF, and only if, you’re willing to work
for it.
If you were looking for an easy solution to your
problems and for me to wave a magical wand over
you that would instantly add twenty pounds of
muscle to your frame I’m sorry to say but you’re
shit out of luck. You may as well stop reading right
now and take up chess.
To get big you have to put in the time and effort.
You have to train your balls off, eat, sleep and
repeat; over and over again. You have to be willing
to do what others are not. You have to have the
dedication of a championship athlete and be relent-
less in the pursuit of your goals.

Most people can’t do that. They can’t commit to any-
thing. They can’t put in the hard work required for great-
ness. They’ll miss training sessions, skip meals and go out
drinking ‘til all hours of the night. As a result they never get
anywhere. Their physiques always look the same, year after
year, and they will make excuse after excuse for their fail-
ures.
Don’t be like everyone else. Don’t get caught up in pro-
gram hopping or constantly surfing the internet for a better
way or a faster, easier solutions to your problems. If it were
easy everyone would do it. If there were a magic bullet we’d
all look like Arnold in his prime.
But there isn’t. There’s only commitment, hard work and
patience. Without those three things you’ll never make any
sort of impressive gains no matter what program or supple-
ment you use. Hell, you could even take steroids and get
lackluster results if the required dedication isn’t in you.
Be one of the few; one of the five percent of people on this earth that can actually set their sights
on a goal and then do whatever it takes to achieve it. Make your mark and prove the naysayers
wrong. Don’t swim in the cesspool of mediocrity with everyone else. Rise above and become the
person you truly want to be.
